Game Changers: The Conscious Culture Men With Vision 2020 Edition | Page 25
What Marion brings to the campaign is special. He
represents the large category of leaders that refer to
themselves as Serial Entrepreneurs. These leaders
always have a project in mind and are driven by a fierce
desire to create. "I am the jack of all trades. You tell me
something and I feel I can line up and do it, I’m
knocking that out. Then you will see me next week and
I'll probably be telling you 'I got my license in that'. So,
whatever it is, I'm going to knock it out."
What some may classify as indecisiveness is really what
differentiates the serial entrepreneur from the
entrepreneur: the passion for business creation. He
loves new opportunities and the excitement of
producing more than ensuring the day-to-day
management of a business.
It is not the money that drives individuals like Marion,
but the challenge of success, the frantic pace of
creation, the excitement of something new. "My
personal definition of success is when you look back,
Are you happy with everything that you have done? Can
you do everything you want in the future? Can you do
everything your wife and kids want to do? Even if I am
only making $100,000 a year. To be able to do whatever
I want or whatever my family wants to do and provide,
that's success."
When it comes to romance, Marion's personal brand
identity as The Perfect Gentleman says it all. A brand
where the mission is to ensure that women everywhere
are aware of their right to not only be loved but also
experience the highest standards of love, romance,
and affection, no matter what their race, religion, size or
status. "I am always a gentleman", Marion states, "that
is who I am as a person. There is nothing that can
negatively affect how I interact with women. Even if
she dissed me I would simply say, 'Okay love' and that
would be it. I would never call a woman out her name
or anything like that". On a scale of 1 to 10 in the
romance department, Marion isn't shy in saying he
gives himself a 10! "When I get into a romantic mode,
I’ll do little cute things like drawing a bath filled up with
flowers. You know little corny stuff. I'm corny, I’m a little
corn ball.", he laughs.
With all that he has going on from, modeling, to acting,
and traveling for work, having someone in his life that
can handle it all is important. When it comes to
the most important qualities and traits Marion values in
a woman, it's pretty simple. "Someone who is
openminded and understanding and versatile. You also
have got to have a lot of confidence as well."
To preserve their own motivation, entrepreneurs
like to surround themselves with equally inspired
and capable individuals. "Usually the type of
women that I associate or deal with have their own
things going on. She would need to have the
hustle and drive to bring in something. She would
add on to our wealth and ultimately our success."
When asked if wedding bells were in his future,
Marion was pretty honest. "I'm still trying to figure
that out. Marriage has always been something I
wanted definitely, but as I get deeper in this life, I
sometimes wonder if you can be happy and not be
married. Do you have to go through that marriage
phase? I know everyone is brought up believing
this is the traditional thing to do. I would get
married because of my religious beliefs. At times I
tell myself 'If I were to get married, it would be just
me and her along with the Pastor before the Lord
as we go about our business and live our lives'.
Then there are other times where I want to go all
out and have a destination wedding. But one day
its going to come and I will get married."
To be who he is today, Marion had to learn to
overcome the opinions of other people. "Everybody
has an opinion like “oh not you shouldn’t do that” or
'You should do it like this or like that'. But I had to
learn sometimes to do things the way that's best for
me." While he is open to constructive criticism and
helpful suggestions, he realizes that at the end of the
day, you answer to you. "Some people give their
opinions to other people and they will change up
their whole flow. Overcoming the need to listen to
what people think is big because you just can’t please
everybody"
Marion believes that a Man With Vision is a man with
a plan. "A Man With Vision is a powerful man. Once
he has the vision, sets his goals, and has a game plan
whether a, b, and c., all he has to do is make a
decision, stick to it and ride that horse to turn that
vision into a reality"

"My vision is not just a vision for
me. It’s a vision for everyone in
my bubble, everyone on my
team and anyone who is on that
route with me".
